German to English translations [Non-PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware | | German term or phrase: passend - passende Ein-/Ausgänge | In einem ähnlichen Zusammenhang wie diesem: "Sie können die Geräte nur miteinander verbinden, wenn sie passende Ein-/Ausgänge haben."
"Passend" wäre dann wahrscheinlich im Sinne von physisch passend (wie bei einem USB-Stecker und einem USB-Anschluss) und/oder "kompatibel", "so beschaffen, dass sie zusammenarbeiten".
suitable?? fitting (das wäre nun rein physisch, oder?)?
Es gibt hier zwar bereits sehr viele Einträge zu "passend" in den persönlichen Glossaren, aber da fehlt so oft der Kontext ... |

Regarding matching:
"Other non-standard connectors mate only with their matching connectors, and are mini-DIN connectors only in the sense of sharing the 9.5mm plug body." from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN_connector |
